Hi John. We're going to need a little more info. Are the computers (laptops / desktops) joined to a domain? (Same domain?) What do you support? Windows XP / Windows Vista / Mac OS x / Linux / They bring it, you support it?
Do the users have administrative control over the computers? Does your group have administrative control over the computers? Is there a budget, or does this have no funding? Answering the above questions and we can offer opinions on what will help you the best. Some of the options are: Computers are on a domain: - Publish an 802.1x wireless profile via Active Directory. (if you go this route, you don't even need to purchase your own Cert) Computers not on a domain, users are administrators of they're machine: - http://www.cloudpath.net/ They make a utility that will auto configure your 802.1x settings (as well as deploy some patches and AV software among other things) - Write your own script that auto configures the OS. The parting bit of advice I have for you is that you should consider getting a real certificate for your Radius server. Check out http://certs.ipsca.com/ for free certs for .edu's. (There are considerations for using this CA. They're based out of Spain, just so you know) On Mon, Apr 27, 2009 at 4:53 PM, john <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello all, > > I work for a K-12 school district with approx 2000 users that wants to > move to .1x with Freeradius for access control for all wired and > wireless users.
